Son of a bitch.

My headaches need to quit.

That's all I'm saying for now. I'll probably update tomorrow night after the superbowl party thing. Should be interesting.

I know I'm not good enough... for you.

I should not be crying over something so stupid. But I'm insecure and need to be reminded daily that I'm loved, otherwise I start to forget that I'm good enough for someone. So here I am, miserable.

God damn it, get me the fuck out of here.

Random Thought.

I wonder... Who was the first person to turn the brim of their hat to the side? Who originated that trend? Whoever it is must feel pretty damn good about themselves. Every day bazillions (yeah, I'm making up words now) of people -- men, women, myself included -- bite off of the style of this fashion "pioneer". Assuming the person who started the trend is still alive, he must look at everyone with their hats to the side and think, "Damn, check my shit out, yo."

It's either that, or he realized that the American youth are a bunch of vile trend whores, and anything that's trendy? ...They'll eat that shit up. And right now, as we speak, this person is walking around the mall, looking at these dipshits with their hat brims off to the side, and laughing his ass off at this private joke he's got with himself.

God damn, I'm fly. And my troop's so cool, I don't have to lie.

Today has been uneventful. I cleaned my room, finally. I tried moving some of the furniture around and it did not look the way I expected it to... So then I moved it all back. -sigh- I also filled out some forms for Nassau -- EXCITEMENT! And I actually vacuumed. I know you're wondering when Alien-Laur will give you back Normal-Laur.

Oh, and if you're observant AT ALL, you've noticed I changed the layout of this silly blogger page and made a new banner. Honestly, I didn't aim to do this, I was just procrastinating and figured photoshop was my best time-killing option. Either way, I like the way my new banner looks. All the random pictures. The squid is from a pair of my pants. The black and white is me obviously. I don't know when/why I took that picture. I think I was very tired and on the verge of a breakdown. Haha. Same with the Twilight Hour picture. I'm not sure how it came to be, but the Twilight Hour has to do with the silly movie/book craze. And the last one is a picture I took at Nassau with my old beloved camera. It's a random assortment of pictures, but I figure it gives you some sort of idea of who I am. A draws-on-her-pants, on-the-verge-of-breakdown, vampire-loving, community college student. Yeah, I need help. I'm aware.

And back to my old beloved camera... I'm telling the world right now, nothing beats that camera. I loved it, and I'm sad it's gone. Eventually, I'll buy it again and after doing so smite my current shit-tastic camera. ...Okay, I won't smite the poor thing (what a waste of technology) but I will not use it. Ever. ...Unless I manage to drunkenly ruin the new one again.

I thought I'd have a lot more to write than this. Oh well... I have an incredible back-ache after all that pushing and shoving furniture. Time for a movie and sleep.

Oh Kurt, I have a three hour psych class tomorrow. Fuuuck my life.

Delivering a kick to the nuts of the Spring 09 Semester.

School started on Tuesday. On my list this semester: English 102, American Sign Language 2, Understanding Criminal Behavior, American History, and Child Development. I thought I made a mistake by only taking 5 classes, but considering the work load I'll have from these classes... 5 was most likely the better choice.

I haven't been to Child Development yet, because it's a 3 hour class that I have on Mondays only. All the teachers I've met so far seem nice, though. My American History professor seems kind of... rigid. She wants everything done a certain way. I mean, I understand that completely -- we're in college, it's to be expected -- however, I wish she would have been a little more clear on certain things. Also, it would have been nice to not have an 8 page syllabus to read through. Oh well. Such is life.

Today was stupid. I was creeped out by some weird guy at the bus stop. I got lunch before work with Amanda and Wei and it made me nauseous throughout the work day. I was not a happy camper. And then when I got home, every attempt I made to do my homework was interrupted. I even interrupted myself by realizing I had to go get a metrocard. Stupid Laur.

Aside from that, Cory has some stuff on his mind, and I feel bad because there's nothing I can do. It's excruciating to watch someone you love be miserable, and know that there isn't a damn thing you can do to help them out of their rut. I fucking hate it. I hate seeing him like this. I'd do anything for all of this shit to not be happening to him. -sigh-

I wish I had magic powers. I wish I could fly. I'd fly to Missouri, give Cory the biggest hug ever, and then use my magic to right all the wrongs in his life. Then, maybe, I wouldn't feel so useless.

...Go on, tell me: "Lauren, you're nuts."

Missed. Dissed. Kissed. Pissed. Passed. Passing. Past. Present. Future. Time travel.

Some days are harder than others. Today just happens to be one of those days. One of those excruciatingly painful days. I fear sounding whiney and complainey and stupid and clingy and needy... But I just want to let everything out. I wonder if he even realizes how much this hurts me.

God damn it. I act as if he left me forever. I'm going to see him again. I am. It's just that I'm an impatient toddler. And I'm sorry, I can't help that. It's just something I do. I whine about what I want to happen, and babble incessantly about time machines and time travel and ways to speed up time and waste it so it moves faster. And then when I finally get what I want, I bitch about slowing it all down. The next time I see him, it will be amazing. And the wait, if anything, will make the experience that much greater.

I need to keep telling myself this.

...Some days are harder than others.


It's unnecessary for this song to relate to how I'm feeling so greatly.

Tired. Wired. Weird. Werd. Nerd. Nerf. Narf. Poit.

Bonus points to whomever knows what cartoon the last two words come from.

I'm fucking exhausted, but I'm unable to fall asleep. I could go take some benodryl and chase it with some Nyquil, but I feel like waking up at a reasonable hour tomorrow morning. That combination would knock me out, definitely, but keep me comatose for way longer than I intend on sleeping.

School starts on Tuesday. Holy shit, dude. I'm excited about going back, just a little apprehensive about my American History class because Kristen isn't in it anymore due to the fact that Nassau Community College is run by a bunch of flamers. Everything else seems like it'll be enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to my criminal mind class. ASL 2 will be a breeze, I hope. English Comp is my strong point, so I should be good there -- and Child Development just sounds like it'll be interesting. This semester I have no reason to do poorly. The classes are fairly simple, and I plan on actually studying this semester. (Yeah, I'm still on that whole... waste as much time as humanly possible kick. Studying is a huge time waster. I'm down.) I'm gonna get my GPA up and get the FUCK out of Turnpike Tech.

I saw Notorious today with Kristen and Anthony. That movie... it was epic. Usually when I watch movies in theaters I get antsy and want to leave halfway through. Not even close here. I was actually surprised the movie ended as quickly as it did. (Which wasn't quick at all, it was 2 hours long.) The acting was amazing. Jamal Woolard did an amazing job acting as Biggie. Biggie's son CJ was in it too, playing as Young Biggie. Naturi Naughton ACED the role of Lil' Kim.

And by the way, are you all aware of how Lil' Kim is trying to sue the producers of Notorious for defamation of character? Um, yeah. Right. Poor Lil' Kim was portrayed as a whore who screwed her way into fame. It just so happens that she IS a whore who screwed her way into fame. Not dissing her at all, because Lil' Kim is pretty ill. But she should probably chill with that lawsuit because she isn't fooling anyone.

After the movie, we went back to Kristens for a little lie-detector questioning, some black mail, and ultimately -- to watch Anthony fail at getting to play Wii Fit. The best thing though, happened before we went to Kristens, when we were on line at Target. I started freestyle rapping about Anthony having crabs. It was mad funny. "Pinchers in the air, like you just don't care, cause Anthony's got crabs on his pubic hair!" I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Life is far from shitty, but it would be a whole hell of a lot better if I could just see Cory. I write this all the time, but I need to get it out. I want nothing more than to be near him. I don't like being this far from him. It's annoying. So right now, I've got a message to deliver:

Dear April,
Hurry your ass the fuck up and get here soon, before I start dropping bitches. Oh, and while you're at it... Once you get to about... Oh... The 10th? You can slow down a bit. You know, as to let me enjoy my happiness. You know, I wouldn't be too affected if time all together froze, as long as I was with Cory when it happened.
Thanks for your understanding.
Love,
Lauren.

Yeah, so if you don't mind, could you please deliver that message to April? Thanks a bunch.

I'm going to stop writing now because it's obvious I need sleep.
Oh, this song I'm listening to... It's pretty fuckin sick. I highly recommend it to all my niggas in the struggle. And by that I mean anyone looking for some good shit to listen to.

Maybe I'll just sing about it.

People change. People drift. New ones come along. People you had doubts about all along prove you right. People you never expected to be there for you prove you wrong. People you never thought you'd be close to become closer than the ones you thought would be there forever.

Things change. And none of it's terribly sad. It's welcome change in my eyes. It all helps me grow. That's the way I'm looking at things right now. -shrug-

I miss Cory.

I'm pretty sure I say that every time I write here. Oh wellz. It's true. It's a thought I have a lot. Why not share? Haha.

Jeremie wrote me, from Parris Island. That was pretty cool of him. I feel kind of bad, because I can tell it's tough on him. I hope he's the same dude when he gets out. I'm gonna write him back and mail it tomorrow before I go to work.

Tomorrow we're filming the first episode of "The Real World: North Shore". I'm pretty excited. It's gonna be good times. I love those people. So much. Oh, and we might go see NOTORIOUS afterward. So psyched.

The music video for the song "Heartless" by Kanye West is pretty cool.
I really have nothing to say. Unless you're interested in reading my rants on why Cory should be here.

I know you're not interested.
Grey's is on in 2 minutes. Yay tele-drama.

Sick, Suck, Sunk, Dunk, Drunk, Crunk, Crank.

I'm getting this feeling that I'm kind of useless lately. Like I'm really not needed. Like some people are maybe keeping me around because they either feel bad telling me to screw off, don't want to waste the energy telling me so, or because it's just convenient to keep me around.

That's a pretty stupid thing to think. Why would it be convenient to keep dead weight around? I don't even know why I'm thinking this stuff anyway. It's probably all in my head. How dare I even think that the amazing people in my life think of me that way.

...Still, the thought pops up every now and then. I've been sad lately. And trying to hide it. I'm not sure how it works, but this is me telling the world that something is bugging me. I'm gonna blame it on the fact that I'm sick. The sickness is fucking with my emotions.

I'm feeling a bit better than earlier this morning. I woke up and was puking at like 3 this morning. That kept up until 6ish. And then I was just dry-heaving since there was nothing in me. I've been drinking water. I'm feeling much better now. I haven't felt nauseous since like... 11ish. Still, my head is throbbing, and I'm coughing and sneezing like a mo-fo. Stayed home from work because I don't wanna contaminate the kids. I'm sure they won't even realize I'm not there. Hopefully tomorrow I can go back to work. I hate being at home. It's so lonely, since the cats can't be bothered to hang out with me. I want a puppy to keep me company. Ohyeah, now I'm certain, I'm delusional. Puppies! Yeah, right.

God, I've got to stop with this shit.
Maybe some more benodryl and sleep.

I want to be happy.
Like... Katherine Hiegl at the end of 27 Dresses. That kind of happy. Where it's her day, and nothing could possibly happen to fuck it up. Thats a once-in-a-lifetime kind of happy though. Why would I waste it when I'm 19? Idk. Maybe I should just stop typing. Why am I retarded.

Non tangunt et amant.

Today has been ridiculous, in a completely boring way.

I woke up, thirsty as hell, but there wasn't anything to drink aside from milk (I'm not giving Cory the satisfaction) and the tap water that I think tastes funny. Boredom occured basically all morning, until I went outside and swept snow off the stairs and then went grocery shopping. Yippee? Mom and I played Mario Party 8 after dinner. She kicked my ass. Yet again. Damn her.

Tomorrow, I'm going to clean my room. And then when I'm done, I might attempt baking a cake. (hahaha) Or the Izzie cupcakes. (Chocolate, with a dash of coconut extract) BAHAHAHAHA. And then when I'm done with that... I'm painting a rainbow. With little silver butterflies.

Fuck yes!
I'm ambitious at midnight, but I don't think I'll be up for all of this tomorrow. Oh well. I'm trying.

1/9/09

My throat hurts.

...yeah. Today feels uncomfortable. My hair is ridiculous looking. My face is all dried out. I need moisturizer. And a haircut. Oh, mother of fuck, I need a haircut in a bad way.

I'm quitting smoking. I figure with my luck, I'll end up with lung cancer if I keep it up. I want to stay alive as long as possible. There's too much I haven't seen. I need to see more. My eyes need stimulation. NEED MOAR SIGHTS.

Happy boys and happy girls. This song makes me think of like... a giant PRIDE parade dancing through the streets of Disney. Haha, that would be awesome. I want a Pride flag. I'm very straight, but I like rainbows. I also like gays and lesbians. They're good people. I need more good people in my life. Of course the one good person I NEED in my life happens to be 1251 miles away. -le sigh- April will be here soon enough, I suppose.

No, not soon enough. It will never be soon enough, because it needs to be right now. I'm a whineybitch. Bwahaha.

OMG Barbie Girl is on. What amazingness. This song makes me want to bunch a blonde girl. And then turn into an Asian. Oh, how amazing life would be if I were Asian. I'd have nice hair, a pretty face... I'd be smart. I'd be really good at stuff. Of course Cory says I'm all of that, so I don't need to be Asian. I guess his opinion is the only one that actually matters. God, I love him.

Today is going to be looooooooooooong. Hopefully I don't lose my voice. Y'know. Sore throat and all.

Wish me luck.

Everything is nothing.

Today has been especially bad. Everything that could have possibly happened to piss me off, has happened and has pissed me off. No one seems to notice my annoyance lately, so I guess I'm doing a good job of hiding those negative emotions. I sort of wish someone would notice, though. So I could vent, and not feel all cooped up and stressed out all the time. -sigh-

All I want is for Cory to be here. He would make everything better. Fuck Missouri. Fuck distance. Fuck responsibility. Fuck it all. Why not do what you need to do to be happy, when you need to be happy? What is really keeping me from booking a flight right this second? Not. Much. Of. Anything.

Grey's is coming on soon.
I'll be okay. I hope.

MOAR! MOAR PLANS UV ATTACK!

I think it's better, now that I get to talk to him a little more. Well, more than the first 2 days he was gone. Gosh, that was brutal. New York still sucks without Cory. It's always going to. -shrug- I'm just gonna have to concentrate on doing things that help make it more bearable. Also, lots of mundane things, so as to keep me busy. You know the deal.

I've taken to writing everything I've got to do in this stupid day planner that I got from Stonebridge Pharmacy. If not for anything else, just writing in it wastes time. These days, I like to waste as much time as possible. So far most of my to-do's have to do with work. Bulliten boards, art projects, giving myself due dates for stupid shit. Oh, and I'm supposed to meet up with Mario at Roosevelt Field on Sunday. That should be interesting. -shrug-

I've also decided that it's gonna be awesome to go back to school, because what is the biggest waste of time ever? (At least in my case?) Oh yeah, you got it -- STUDYING. I'm gonna face-plant into my textbooks. Hopefully grab a few A's to show for it, but I won't say anything to jinx myself. Maybe this semester I'll do better than last. (Which by the way my grades were B, B+, B+, and an A.) I want to do better, because I can. I know this.

Anyway... It's about time for me to start getting ready for work.
Haha, such an appropriate song is playing right now... XD

Plan of attack.

My new plan is to do everything I can to help pass the time. E V E R Y T H I N G . Even the most mundane, stupid, trivial activity. I'm gonna do it, because it's gonna pass the time. And all that passed time means there's less time between the next time I see Cory.

That being said, I bought a lamp from Ikea today and spent about 25 minutes putting it together. There was a screw that was giving me problems, but I showed it who was boss. Fuck you, Ikea. Oddly enough, I feel accomplished after putting the bastard thing together. The lamp is shaped weird and takes up too much space on my desk. It won't last long...

Mom asked a silly question today. Why did I buy Raisin Bran at the store? I told her I just wanted it. Truthfully, it's because I'm doing silly things to simulate closeness. I saw the Raisin Bran while I was walking down the cereal aisle and something in my head told me buying it would help. It wasn't until I was leaving the store that I realized why. Don't worry about it. I'm weird.

1251 miles. That's all. Just a measeley 1251 miles... I don't miss him any less, and the distance doesn't hurt less... I'm just getting better at coping. I think. Slowly. I still cry a lot though. So who knows.

I'm a zombie.
Please come back...

Sooner, not later.

Well, yesterday was absolutely ridiculous. Started and ended the day in tears, with little change in between. I cried like a baby the entire ride there, while we waited for the bus to show up, and I went hysterical after he threw his luggage under the bus. The hardest thing I've ever had to do, was letting him get on that bus. I was miserable. I contemplated following him on the bus, but that would have been stupid because I had no ticket, and no money, and virtually all of my shit was in the car with Mom. As we were leaving Hempstead, we were driving behind the bus, which sucked. The distance between us kept growing, and all I wanted to do was to stop and rewind time. And just repeat the process. Letting go was so painful.

So I tried to pay my NCC bill after we left. They weren't open. I was upset, again. So I went home. Mom made food. I don't remember what it was. I ate like a zombie. Went to my room. And spent the majority of the day/night in there. Sam came and took me out for a while (thanks for that), but my heart wasn't in it. It was, and still is; in the hands of that boy.

I couldn't sleep last night, and according to Mom, when I did sleep, I was crying and screaming in my sleep. Wonderful. I woke up clinging to the panda bear Cory bought me, for dear life.

Today is a little better, even though I woke up this morning under the impression he was still here. Until I realized I was sleeping on a Jollyrancher pillow, which of course meant he wasn't here. He was still gone.

It's been a whole day. I'm starting to come off of this evil sadness. I'll be okay, eventually. It's not the end of the world. I just have to keep telling myself that. It's not the end. It's just the beginning. He'll be back. We'll be together again, soon. And even though I don't know exactly when, I have to know that it's soon. Sooner than later, anyway. Sooner, because time doesn't move backward. Sooner, because time is always moving forward. Always. It doesn't stop for anyone, ever. So every day I make it through is one day closer to being able to see him again.

I'll be alright.
Just bear with me for the next couple days.
I'm gonna need support.

The truth is, it's painless letting your love show.

For arguments sake, lets say I got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night. Maybe. Only because he kissed me goodnight, and I was comfortable enough to pass out. So when I woke up at 3 am, I kind of freaked out. Well. I've been going strong on the whole freak out thing since then. I could probably fall asleep right now, but that would be dumb since we have plans to leave for the train station at 11:30. The closer we get to Saturday, the more I cry. I'm so pathetic...

I don't want him to leave me here.
Nothing is ever going to be the same...

So this is the new year...

Happy New Year! My resolutions (if you can call them that) are all geared around self-improvement... so I'm not gonna bother to write them out. Oh, and another resolution is to do more art. Be more artistic, think outside the box more, and create. -shrug- Sounds do-able.

Cory's here. He's been here since Saturday (the 27h) and it's been the most amazing time ever. I haven't ever been so happy. Ever. Saturday after Mom and I picked him up, we took him to Majestic and had dinner there. Sunday we went to East West in Westbury to meet Andrew WK before the concert at the Donkey. But of course my car decides to be an asshole, and would not start after we got out of East West. So effing lame. Finally, after Sam came to the rescue with tools, and Cory beat the shit out of our car battery... The bastard thing started. We then went to the Donkey and saw AWK and proceeded to have the most amazing concert experience ever. Monday we went into the city with Katie, which was quite interesting. Katie's on crack (as if we weren't all aware) and was being her usual retarded self on the bus. Once we got into the city, we showed Cory all the fun touristy things, including the Toys R Us, MTV Store, all of Times Square, and Rockefeller Center. It was a lot of fun. Tuesday, we went out to lunch with Sam and Melissa which was, as always; an experience. After that I brought him to the Boys and Girls Club to meet everyone who was there, and to see where I work. Yadda yadda. Then we had to go grocery shopping. Cory bought me this HUGE panda bear while we were at the store. I'm loving it. It's reeeeally soft. =) Yesterday for New Years Eve we went to Joe's house. That was also really fun. Mazza interrogated him about Missouri, which was entertaining because she was acting as if Missouri is some... 3rd world country or something. Blah, I feel like I'm rambling about stuff. These past 5 days have been amazing, and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Tomorrow we're going back into the city with Kristen, Chris, Kemp, and possibly Amanda and Joe. Probably gonna try and check out Madame Tussuad's, try going to Nintendo World again, and then make our way to Brooklyn Bridge Park to meet a friend of Cory's.


I'm dreading Saturday. I don't want it to happen. I want to freeze time so that this happiness I'm experiencing won't leave me. I'm so scared of what's going to happen when he goes... I need to freeze time. Or a time machine. Something. I need something, quick.
